New York City has been steadily improving its dismal bike lane situation. In Midtown it’s now possible to travel uptown on 6th Avenue and downtown on Broadway in a clearly marked bike lanes (dodging doors, cabs and delivery trucks, natch). There still isn’t a good way to ride uptown or downtown on the east side, but the bike lane down 2nd Avenue below 14th Street is a good start. Finish it all the way to the Manhattan Bridge, please.

Even if you’re not a cyclist, you might appreciate Slate’s amusing videos about the stupidest bike lanes.
